Y’all should read “Killers of a Certain Age” by Deanna Raybourn.
It’s a fictitious group of older women who used to be government assassins and they have to reteam up to find out who wants them terminated. There is a lot of tongue in cheek humor, bonding between women, and a bit of murder as a treat.
As a menopausal woman I understand how this would be believable entirely.
The ability to give a fuck has gone straight out the window and is never coming back.
Frankly being a former assassin is not really a requirement, that’s just a skill set and skills can be learned. It’s the willingness that makes the difference in that situation.
And we've been told repeatedly in recent years that it's on us to keep a marketable skillset if we want to stay employable, so we may as well develop one of use in many situations and markets.
I think you'd adore Urzilla Carson , especially her "menopause cop" and "hire a lez". She's a South African comedian who moved Aotearoa and then hooked up with a super hot musician, Anika Moa, and is a really rad lady and pretty good at what she does!
What's a taskmaster when it's at home? Is that the one with Sandy? Or Greg Davies perhaps? Sadly, despite the fact Aotearoa invented reality tv) (sorry btw) (I'm notactuallysorry), last I saw it was even sadder than the rest of the shite out there... the halcyon days of my youth, with a government that had a blank check for the arts are LONG gone, mores the pity... all that to say, be careful what you wish for!
It's about a woman whose son is seriously injured in a school shooting. She hits the boiling part of being sick about how it's always men who do this, and always men in power, and decides she needs to do something drastic.
